Works *absolutely* fine -- ie the same as in a dtterm (no emacs).
(of course, no "more", etc, but grep, find, etc all work
exactly as expected. Likewise pushd, popd, dirs, etc.
(Although from time to time it gets confused, at which
point you simply do M-x dirs )

of course (plus with dired-x, too).
M-x locate, M-x grep, M-x cd etc.
Huh?
About M-x grep, I find it very useful to use normal
grep/egrep/etc, *with -n*, and on *at least 2 files*
(eg if just one to be grepped, then append /dev/null to
get to the 2-or-more-files -- so as to get file-names
at the left of the grep-output)
and then, if desired, hack that file to remove lines,
add marks to certain lines, etc,
and THEN do M-x grep, and change the offered args to
"`cat mygrep.out`"

I don't understand, so: Please expain, ie show examples where necessary.
